Treatment with the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin promotes approximately 30% decrease in the steady-state number of cell-surface transferrin receptors. This effect is rapid and dose dependent, with maximal down-regulation elicited with 30 min of treatment and with an IC50 approximately 25 nM wortmannin. Wortmannin-treated cells display an increased endocytic rate constant for transferrin internalization and decreased exocytic rate constants for transferrin recycling. In addition to these effects in vivo, wortmannin is a potent inhibitor (IC50 approximately 15 nM) of a cell-free assay that detects the delivery of endocytosed probes into a common compartment. Inhibition of the in vitro assay involves the inactivation of a membrane-associated factor that can be recruited onto the surface of vesicles from the cytosol. Its effects on the cell-free assay suggest that wortmannin inhibits receptor sorting and/or vesicle budding required for delivery of endocytosed material to "mixing" endosomes. This idea is consistent with morphological changes induced by wortmannin, which include the formation of enlarged transferrin-containing structures and the disruption of the perinuclear endosomal compartment. However, the differential effects of wortmannin, specifically increased transferrin receptor internalization and inhibition of receptor recycling, implicate a role for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in multiple sorting events in the transferrin receptor's membrane traffic pathway.
